UTG+1 is LAG (50vpip, 15pfr through 60 hands), MP1 is just horrible (80vpip, 5pfr through 200 hands).

This has become my most used play when I flop a big hand. Bet into field, call and C/R turn if raised, keep hammering if not. Is this a solid line, or am I missing bets by not 3-betting flops and hoping for extra raises later on?
Also, is the pre-flop raise standard? Anyone cap after getting 3-bet by a LAG with someone that will call with literally any two along for the ride?

DCIAce, here's how I see it:
The preflop raise is standard. It's a value bet.
I'd 3bet on the flop with the two spades out there. You undoubtedly have the best hand at this point, and want to get more $$ in there while you have the best of it. Plus you want to make draws expensive.
I like and understand your approach on the turn, and use it often myself, but here, youi absolutely don't want to risk the hand being checked through giving a free card, so I'd look at it as a bet/3bet.
Your river bet is again a value bet.
Nice hand! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
